Hi Chris, Thanks for letting me know. I’ve had that problem for a while and dropped the people at Digg an email and received a reply saying that it was a known bug and they were looking into it but as of yet the problem still persists.

I presume it’s due to the dynamic URL’s so I’m looking into a solution that can use search engine friendly URL’s with my hosts so hopefully that will be rectified soon.

Thanks for letting me know though.

I just thought I’d let you know that I can’t digg this page using the link provided. It complains that it is not a valid URL.

I have tried both foxmarks and del.icio.us and got addicted to del.icio.us. Till you use firefox, foxmarks might be useful but the fast access to del.icio.us is unbeatable.

@Bijay – It’s very useful especially when being handed a project you weren’t initially involved with and can help to tidy up an over complicated CSS file

@Bryce – I tried using the del.icio.us extension but never really got on with it whereas Foxmarks is just an extension which synchronizes the bookmarks that is already part of the functionality of Firefox which I found much easier to use.

@Jermayn – I tried FireFTP but ended up finding that as I use Dreamweaver (in code view obviously) that I tend to use the inbuilt FTP client anyway. It’s definitely a useful extension though but doesn’t quite make my top ten list.

As for Firebug at number one. It was a tough call but I tend to use the web dev toolbar for editing the CSS file and for outlining block level elements. It’s also useful for disabling CSS and images and with the link directly to the validator, I do tend to use the Web Dev Toolbar slightly more.

Both are powerful though and wouldn’t argue if their positions were switched for your top ten extensions

I would only add firefpt to that list but add firebug to top as number ONE!!

The Dust Me Selectors is something new for me and sounds interesting.

Have installed it and will see how it works..

Thanks

Thanks for the nice list. Colour Contrast Analyser and Dust Me Selectors were new to me. I’ve installed them to give them a try. If you haven’t tried it, you might want to give MeasureIt a try; similar interface to ColorZilla for measuring things on a page. I also use IE View Lite. There are several flavors (original one, tab, etc.) but in my environment I develop in Firefox and have to test everything in IE so it comes in very handy.
